Stop Hurting The Scene with Cribbing!
Yesterday, the author of iR Shell, AhMan, has informed us that a guy called DragonUK has modified his program into an ISO game loader program, but claimed it as his own work. AhMan was so angry that he decided he will not be updating his program for some while. It seems this issue is now under control. Here is his post about this issue in our forums.
However, I came across another program called “Whiteboard” by benh today, which was released back on March 25, and instantly recalled that we had posted a “Blackboard” Lua application by Mnky from our forums on March 20. I was so curious that I had to check the Lua script from both of them. And surprisingly, I found that the source code from the two programs is almost the same! I’ve taken a screenshot to make a contrast here.
I don’t think I need to explain any more. You can even download both of them and check the similarity of the two programs. It’s all up to you to blame this kind of cribbing happening in the scene. Leave your thoughts in the comments, please!
